At their first meeting of the year, members of the faculty were informed of a plan by the College to reduce the number of Quest students over a five-year period. Rev. Edmund G. Ryan, S.J., cxccutivc vice president for academic affairs, addressed the college faculty yesterday in the Grupp Fireside Lounge, pledging to "bring the number of Quest students to under 30 percent of new first time students and to settle the number of Quest to about 25 percent."Fr. Ryan's statement comes in the wake of concerns about what the creation of the Quest program has done to the academic standards of Canisius. The Quest program, according to its brochure, is one that accepts students who "do not meet all of the minimum standards for SAT or ACF scores, high school average, or rank in high school graduating class,... (but who) demonstrate gotxl potential for future acadcmic succcss." The program was established in the fall of 19H1 out of a program callcd the Code 6 program, which "admitted students who didn't , meet our standards," according to Fr. Ryan. The program is one that, according to Fr. Ryan, is indicative of the "Jesuit ideal of helping those in need."
